I have had the HVAC system for a a year or so. I have cut the box up in several pieces trying to avoid cutting the car. But I wound up cutting the car and then plastic welding the system back together.
I think the key to foot room is to move the HVAC closer towards the passenger in all three axis, X,Y and Z. If you move it towards you in the Y, that will allow you to move it further over to the right. And lifting it up a little will give you even more room.
Mine is not under a Fiero dash so I think I have room to move it around.
I cut the top off of a diferent HVAC al plastic welded it together to fit it under the new dash.

I hope you never have to do anything under that car any time soon! I think if I was going to do that I would have replaced everything under their first and then given myself an easy way to drop the fuel tank just in case.
I like the build don't get me wrong but sometimes function comes before form

the back brace is going to be bolted on it just tacked right now so i can drill it. the middle brace also has a bolted on section.
but by the way what was my biggest mistake? and what could i replace under the car there is nothing left but the tank all brake lines hoses ect have been removed for steel braided lines to go in.

and by the way. the middle stock brace was removed. once i have time i will drill the back angle and bolt it up. and the middle brace about a foot and a half in front of it will be the same way...... but i did think about that since i have to put a performance pump in the tank. but everything is removed besides the a/c lines and heater lines which i checked and are perfect.... dont take this as me defending. i actually enjoy critisism. thats the only way for a builder to perfect, is through anothers piont of view....

from the pic's I could not see that you were going to make it removeable. I have seen others that never thuoght about it till it was too late.
I try very hard not to critisis. I would rather try to help before something becomes a problem. as long as you know what you are doing all is well.
I love the build I can't wait to see the body on the chassis.
